My name is Collin and Iβm a software engineer that has spent the last decade in development, analysis, and consulting roles across retail, automotive, oil, and other industries. Iβve also been involved in a few startups during that time.
In college I spent hundreds of hours watching Channel9 videos. People such as Charles, Erik Meijer, Anders Hejlsberg, and Bart De Smet had a huge impact on me and were a contributing reason to switch from engineering to computer science.
Away from work I enjoy spending time with my wife of almost 9 years, three-year-old boy, two-year-old girl, and two-and-a-half-year-old nephew. I am also pursuing a master's degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech at night.
I value authenticity, genuinely love people and will be friends with most anyone, and I believe that respect bridges personalities and backgrounds. I deeply value the individual, and will get behind and push if someone needs my help.
